Online store?

[savethematches]

I started a music instruction business in January. Rock University. I would like to setup an online store where folks can order t-shirts, hats, etc. Any recommendations on good services for this?

I did a good bit of research into this following an opportunity we (my employer) had several years ago. A dedicated store is pretty expensive to launch, but you can use existing stores to get critical mass before the launch (and to gauge interest / potential before putting out the funds). 

We used eBay back then, but now (and specific to what you're selling), I'd go with Reverb and contact Amazon about selling through them.  I have sold through Reverb and every experience was fantastic, including one problematic sale - they were very helpful.  Partnering with Amazon could bring a ton of exposure and automatic Google results.
